Halle Berry is reflecting on being the first — and only — Black woman to win Best Actress at the Oscars.

The X-Men star, who won the trophy for her performance in Monster’s Ball in 2002, discussed the challenges of witnessing the Academy Awards repeatedly overlook other Black actresses every year. “It’s forced me to ask myself, did it matter?” Berry said in the new documentary Number One on the Call Sheet: Black Leading Women in Hollywood. “Did it really change anything for women of color? For my sisters? For our journey?”

Berry was just the seventh Black woman ever nominated in the lead actress category at the Oscars, following Dorothy Dandridge, Diana Ross, Cicely Tyson, Diahann Carroll, Whoopi Goldberg, and Angela Bassett. Only eight more Black nominees have followed in the 23 years since Berry’s win: Gabourey Sidibe, Viola Davis (twice), Quvenzhané Wallis, Ruth Negga, and Cynthia Erivo (twice), and Andra Day.

In the documentary, Berry said that she was convinced that either Davis or Day would win the award at the 2021 ceremony, which was just the second time that two Black women have been nominated for Best Actress in the same year. “A few years ago, I was at the table with Andra Day, and I was across the room from Viola Davis, and they were both nominated for stellar performances, and I felt 100% sure that this was the year one of them was gonna walk away with this award,” she said. “For equally different and beautiful reasons, they both deserved it, and I thought for sure.”

Frances McDormand ultimately won for Nomadland — her third Oscar overall, and her second in four years.

“The system is not really designed for us, and so we have to stop coveting that which is not for us,” Berry concluded. “Because at the end of the day, it’s, ‘How do we touch the lives of people?’ and that fundamentally is what art is for.”

In the same segment of the documentary, Taraji P. Henson expressed similar frustration at the Academy. “I’ve seen amazing work by Black women in those leading positions, and you can ask Halle — she’s pissed off too that she’s the only one,” the Hidden Figures star said. “I don’t think the industry really sees us as leads, you know? They give us Supporting [Actress awards] like they give out candy canes.”

Goldberg also appeared in the documentary and voiced similar criticism. “Wait a minute, none of us were good enough?” she asked. “Nobody? In all of these people, nobody?’What are we missing here? This is a conversation people have every year.”
